swimmy

ok, it's all fixed, I just deleted all the entries referring to my old name and then restarted the server. I feel like such an idiot. I apologize for wasting your time. Thank you for your courtesies

Among other ports, I have port 80 being forwarded. My domain name is mattr.homelinux.net. I think it has something to do with my old domain name when I was running just my local intranet which used to be mattr.maverick.com. I have tried to delete but for some reason, it keeps looking this up. I deleted the entry from the bind dns via webmin and changed my hostname to the new one. I don't think the days passed has anything to do with it because I can connect to my ssh server and ftp servers from a non-local machine without any hassle. I can even connect to http://mattr.homelinux.net the problem arises when I try to connect to http://mattr.homelinux.net/~swimmy/ I have a feeling that it is because I can't get the servers to stop looking up mattr.maverick.com and accept the new doman. I am going to try to restart the servers again to see if that will change anything.

This is what my /etc/udev/permissions.d/00-udev.permissions looks like #------------------------------- # console devices console:root:root:0600 tty[0-9][0-9]*:root:tty:0660 vc/[0-9]*:root:tty:0660 #------------------------------- # pty devices # Set this to 0660 if you only want users belonging to tty group # to be able to allocate PTYs ptmx:root:tty:0666 tty:root:tty:0666 pty[p-za-e][0-9a-f]*:root:tty:0660 tty[p-za-e][0-9a-f]*:root:tty:0660 pty/m*:root:tty:0660 vc/s*:root:tty:0660

Ok, i have a linksys router which has the ability to setup a dynamic dns system via an account with dyndns.org. I set it all up and everything works alright except when I try to view my local webpage http://<my_domain>/~swimmy I receive a "404 FIle not found". I have checked my router config. and the settings on my dyndns account but I still have the same problem. When I type in my actual IP address such that I have the following http://<myipaddress/~swimmy it works I am trying out this feature so that I don't have to check my ip address all the time before I leave for work to make sure I can connect to my computer. Any ideas would be great. I don't think it is anything with the apache server settings (mainly b/c I haven't toyed with them). Thank you for your courtesies

Ok, I've searched this site for any help but I can't find much about these commands. When I try to write to someone using write, i get the following [swimmy@mattr swimmy]$ write <user_on_my_system> write: you have write permission turned off. So I searched on how to turn them on and found out that I need to run mesg y here are my results... [swimmy@mattr swimmy]$ mesg y mesg: error: tty device is not owned by group `tty' I haven't been able to find anything from googling the error which addresses this. I have done nothing to the tty device and don't know why tty isn't owned by group tty. I tried to run talk. and it spits out an error...that the connection is refused the talk daemon refused connection turns out I'm not running hte talk daemon so I looked to see how to get it running since talkd wasn't working even under su. I found a link that said to run this... service talk start talk is a xinetd service Reloading configuration: [ OK ] Initially I received an error and had to execute chkconfig talk and then ran the above cmd to get that output. I still can't use the talk command, write command, or turn messages on with mesg y Any help would be great. Don't ask me why I want these to be available, as I can provide no rational explanation. Thank you for your courtesies

ok I'm not sure if you already tried this so I'm just going to run through the steps I've taken to get java working on my machine. Don't get upset if I am going over something you already did or find trivial. First, I downloaded the latest JDK version from Java Development Kit unzipped it and ran the binary as root. I installed it in /opt/. Next, I edited the path to include my java installation directory (I'm not sure if this was the correct way but I edited my .bash_profile (whichever .bash file already has the PATH variable added) file to include the path). I also added a CLASSPATH variable and it looks like this PATH=/opt/jdk1.5.0_01/bin:/opt/firefox-installer/:$PATH:$HOME/bin CLASSPATH=.:$CLASSPATH Then I logged out and back in so that the changes would take effect. I did a test run with a simple program and it worked fine. Hope this helps

I had an error like that once, it was b/c somehow the .iso file got corrupted in between my downloading and burning to CD (I was also using WinBlows) I re-downloaded the .iso files and burned them to new discs. It worked after that. Don't know if this is the same for you, but maybe it will work.

The added boot parameter of 'noapic' did the trick, now I have sound running. I just can't get XMMS to play any mp3s

Thank you for the quick reply. I will be away for a few days without access to my computer. So I will have to let you know how it works upon my return. On a side note. If it's an IRQ problem, is there a method to mannually assign it a different, IRQ? If so is there a method to list all the used and unused #s? Thanks for any answers, I'll see you in a few days.

Have you tried to connect to the dsl modem interface? Open up a browser, and go to either 192.168.0.1 or 192.168.1.1 and hopefully that will bring you to your dsl modem's configuration/connection page. Loook for a button to connect/login and then type your username and password and connect. Usually when you do it that way, you can then set it up sot the connection stays live.

Background: I'm running Mdk 10.1 community edition. When I ran Mdk 9.8 professional, the sound card worked but for some reason it won't work now. I have a cerative soundblaster live! soundcard.. I have the snd-emu10k1 driver installed for it to be configured. but it won't seem to allow any sound period. I ran modprobe emu10k1 and then dmesg and recvied this msg... Creative EMU10K1 PCI Audio Driver, version 0.20a, 16:41:15 Sep 8 2004 emu10k1: IRQ in use emu10k1: probe of 0000:00:08.0 failed with error -16 the driver has been installed fine, but I don't know what to do to fix it. I have checked to see if the sound is muted by running aumix. and the sound is allowed to run on level 3. I tried to look around on this forum for some help, but I'm not having much luck finding someone with similar problems. Any help is greately appreciated. Thank you for your coutesies and help with this.
